You already know that the SVG format can do much more than displaying vector-based shapes. Today, I want to show you how text effects can be created with SVG. Patterns, masks and clipping paths allow you to implement a plethora of creative ideas. You can realize unusual and unique text effects that can’t even be done with the help of the many features of CSS3 or that at least don’t work in every popular browser.

Patterns as Text Background

The „“ element allows you to create any pattern you want via SVG and set it as the background for shapes, and also for texts. This can be repeating lines, circles or squares. Defining two squares with the length of one pixel each is enough to create a two by two-pixel chess board pattern. Even a simple line can become an interesting pattern for texts.

<defs>
  <pattern id="muster" x="0" y="0" width="5" height="5" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
    <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="5" y2="5" stroke="#a62121" />
  </pattern>
</defs>

„“ elements, as well as other elements, that are not directly displayed, but are referenced, should be placed withing the „“ container.

An ID has to be assigned to the pattern for it to fill an element. Afterwards, this ID is assigned to the pattern via „fill“ attribute or CSS characteristic. This doesn’t only work with classic shapes, but also with the font element „“.

text {
  fill: url(#muster);
}

In the example, a pattern is marked with the ID „pattern“ via „“ and subsequently assigned to a „“ element. In contrast to purely graphic solutions, the text can still be selected and thus, it can also be copied. CSS3 has a similar option with its attribute „background-clip“. The value „text“ makes sure that a background graphic that was assigned to an element will only be used on the text of this element. This creates the same effect as in the SVG example. However, Chrome is the only browser that supports the value „text“ for this attribute.

Cut Out Text

Using the „“ element allows you to achieve the opposite effect of the first example. Instead of adding a pattern to a text, you can cut out text from a pattern. To do so, you need to set a pattern, as well as a mask via the „“ element in the “ area. Masks work similar to how they work in Photoshop and other image editing applications. The tonal value determines what a mask should represent. The brighter the tonal value, the higher the transparency. White means 100 percent visibility and black equals no visibility at all. When you place a black, page-filling rectangle and put white text in front of it, you get a mask that does not cover the text.

<defs>
 <pattern id="muster" width="5" height="5" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
   <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="5" y2="5" stroke="yellow" />
 </pattern>
 <mask id="maske">
   <rect fill="white" />
   <text x="50%" y="50%" fill="black">Dr. Web</text>
  </mask>
</defs>

In contrast to the first example, the text is part of the mask and not an independently displayed element. In the last step, the mask needs to be assigned to an element via the „mask“ attribute. In this case, the element is another page-filling rectangle. This square is filled with the pattern via „fill“.

defs + rect {
  fill: url(#pattern);
  mask: url(#mask);
}
 
 <a href="http://codepen.io/denispotschien/pen/KVVGaM"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-67713" src="http://www.noupe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/svg-texteffekte2-640x425.jpg" alt="svg-texteffekte2" width="640" height="425" /></a>

In the example, the rectangle displayed on the drawing area receives the mask with the ID „mask“ via the „mask“ attribute, as well as the pattern with the ID „pattern“ via „fill“.

It is important, that the used rectangles and their parent elements all have 100 percent width and height so that the pattern can cover the entire page. As the text is part of the mask here, the text is not selectable in this case.

Clipping Text With Paths

Besides masks, SVG knows clipping paths. These also work similar to how they do in Photoshop. A clipping path defines a path that is used to clip an element, a text, for example, to match the shape of the path. To do that, a clipping path is defined in the „“ area via „“.

<defs>
  <clipPath id="pfad">
    <circle cx="33%" cy="50%" r="150" />
    <circle cx="66%" cy="50%" r="150" />
  </clipPath>
</defs>

This can contain random paths that add up and thus result in the clipping path. Afterwards, the clipping path is assigned to an element by the attribute „clip-path“.

In this example, a multiline text is clipped to match the shape of two overlapping circles. The ID of the clipping path is assigned to the „“ element by the CSS attribute „clip-path“.

text {
  clip-path: url(#pfad);
}

Of course, this clipping effect can also be achieved with a mask. However, masks always require a black and a white area. This means that you need several shapes, which all need to have a colour attached to them. All you need for a clipping path is a path.

Browser Support

The neat thing is, that all recent browsers support „“ as well as „“ and „“ elements. Only for older browsers, a fallback, which can consist of a simple text or a graphic, might be needed.

This article was originally written in German language for our sister magazine Dr. Web.

Last year, Apple released its new app for serving news on mobile: Apple News. While the reception to the app was not bad by any means, it was hardly promising or stellar.

However, Apple recently stated that it might have miscalculated the number of users that are currently using Apple News and as such, the number of active users needs to be calculated again.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s Eddy Cue said:

We’re in the process of fixing that now, but our numbers are lower than reality.

And more interestingly:

We don’t know what the right number is.

Eddy Cue did accept that approximately 40 million people might have tried Apple News so far, but there is no valid data on the number of users that come back to Apple News, or are using it on a regular and active basis.

The modest and fairly mild reception to Apple News so far had led many publishers to stick to Google News and Google’s ad platform. In fact, several popular websites, such as Business Insider and The Atlantic, did join Apple News platform, but noted no major spike in traffic or new visitors from Apple News.

Since the current number of active users has been underestimated by Apple, it might be interesting to see what the real number of users is.

The following is a guest adventure by Francisco Dias from HubSpot. I saw Francisco and Cris Necochea give this as a quick, fun presentation at the Show & Tell at CSS Dev Conf this year. He graciously agreed to prepare it for a blog post!

19 ways to override a background color

Starting with pretty much the lowest specificity selector:

div {
  background: black;
}

There are an awful lot of ways to one-up the existing specificity without repeating the same trick.

Click through each step to see the spies force their color (black or white) on top of the previous color. When the specificity one-upping stops, there are still more tricks up their sleeve!

(The Spy shape is created from a clip-path on the div in the demo to make it more fun and Spy-vs-Spy like. If the browser you’re currently in doesn’t support clip-path, you’ll just see white or black boxes.)

See the Pen Spy Vs Spy by Francisco Dias (@FranDias) on CodePen.

What the heck is going on here? The text inside the demo Pen above has a bit more information on each step, but just as a quick overview, here are the stages:

Step 1: Element Selector

0, 0, 0, 1

div {
  background: black;
}

Step 2: Two Element Selectors

0, 0, 0, 2

body div {
  background: white;
}

Step 3: Three Element Selectors

0, 0, 0, 3

html body div {
  background: black;
}

Step 4: Class Selector

0, 0, 1, 0

.spy {
  background: white;
}

Step 5: Class + Element Selector

0, 0, 1, 1

div.spy {
  background: black;
}

Step 6: Element + Class + Pseudo-Class Selector

0, 0, 2, 1

div.spy:only-of-type {
  background: white;
}

Step 7: Stacked Classes

0, 0, ?, 0

.spy.spy.spy.spy.spy.spy.spy.spy.spy {
  background: black;
}

Step 8: ID Selector

0, 1, 0, 0

#spy {
  background: white;
}

Step 9: ID + Attribute Selector

0, 1, 1, 0

#spy[class^="s"] {
  background: black;
}

Step 10: Combining Many Above…

0, 1, 3, 3

html body div#spy[class="spy"]:first-of-type.spy {
  background: white;
}

Step 11: Inline Style

1, 0, 0, 0

<div class="spy" id="spy" style="background: black;"></div>

Step 12: !important

Kind of like [1, 0, 0, 0] on a per-property basis (can override an inline style).

div {
  background: white !important;
}

Step 13: !important on inline style

Kind of like [?, 0, 0, 0] on a per property basis, which no CSS can override.

<div class="spy" id="spy" style="background: black !important;"></div>

Step 14: box-shadow trickery

Some properties paint on top of others. box-shadow paints on top of background.

div {
  box-shadow: inset 0 9001rem 0 white;
}

Step 15: Invert Filter

div {
  -webkit-filter: invert(1);
          filter: invert(1);
}

Step 16: Pseudo Element Overlay

div::after {
  content: "";
  height: 9001px;
  width: 9001px;
  background: black;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  position: absolute;
}

Step 17: !important again

All the specificity battles could be fought again, including the per-property battle using !important;, so let’s end that here.

div:after {
  background: white !important;
}

Step 18: @keyframes trickery

!important isn’t animateable, so the animation can override it.

@keyframes white {
  to {
    background: black;
  }
}

div:after {
  animation: white 1s linear;
  animation-play-state: paused;
  animation-delay: -1s;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

Step 19: Coloring the Content

Putting a huge block character over everything flips the color again!

div:after {
  content: "█";
  line-height: 0;
  color: white;
  font-size: 9001px;
}

To get that out of the way upfront: Assembla does not refer to the similarly named programming language, but still is important for designers and developers alike. If you run a web design and development business and work with diverse clientele, or manage a team of web developers working across projects, you must already be aware of the importance of proper collaboration. In the absence of collaboration among members of the development team, the quality of output will suffer manifolds.

Of course, several tools exist to help you collaborate with your team: we have Git, Dropbox, task management apps, and what not! However, what if you need something that serves as an umbrella service, ensuring tight integration with other services, and helping you boost your workflow and relationship with your clients?

Allow me to introduce you to one such service: Assembla.

What is Assembla?

In simple words, Assembla is a set of SaaS tools meant for web development teams that work in the cloud (which refers to virtually every web development team nowadays).

On the one hand, Assembla lets you host and manage your client projects in one place, wherein you can invite your team members to work on it and your customers to follow it along. On the other hand, Assembla integrates tightly with Apache Subversion hosting, Git, P4, Dropbox, etc.

Since Assembla intends to make lives easier for development teams, it offers a range of task management and team collaboration features. You can manage your portfolio, and work better with members of your team, clients and service providers.

What Does it Offer?

Basically, Assembla works by organizing your workspace in a better manner.

Assembla Workspaces

The Workspaces product of Assembla, as the name suggests, offers a “workspace” for your distributed team to work together on projects.

You get task and issue management features, where you can launch projects, organize releases, fix bugs in your code, and so on. All in all, this is where your actual “workflow” would happen, and Assembla helps you work efficiently.

For instance, every conversation happens using a ticket, wherein you can specify details such as code, issues, etc. Tickets can be filtered through priority or status.

But beyond that, Assembla offers the tested and proven Kanban model for work management. Looking at the success of popular task management tools such as Trello, it is obvious that the Kanban model is ideal for the job, and Assembla does not reinvent the wheel, but rather, integrates it within its workspace.

Now, to better improve your workflow, Assembla spices up the workspace by adding team collaboration tools, modeled along classic services such as wikis, message boards, etc. You can share files directly, or follow the activity stream to keep a track of the ongoing actions.

In-situ conversations in Assembla work much like they would in any other collaboration tool, for instance, Slack. You can mention people by @name, and that will grab their attention by notifying them.

In-ticket conversations happen using comments, tags, and filters, and you can get a simplified view of all activity by looking at the timeline.

Plus, you can also share files and code snippets right within Assembla, and your team members can comment on and respond to them accordingly.

Obviously, Assembla Workspaces is an ideal tool for managing distributed web development teams. Since your entire project rests in the same workflow, you can save a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted in back and forth emails and other mundane tasks.

Assembla Portfolio

When working on client projects, there are certain basic things that are absolutely essential. For instance:

1. Transparency, because if your business and work model is not open, you are giving the client no reason to trust you.
2. Customer satisfaction, because an unhappy client is something nobody wants.
3. Efficiency, not just concerning work but also efficient delivery and tracking of time. A delayed project helps no one.

The question is, can Assembla help you accomplish the above aspects?

First up, regarding transparency.

Since Assembla Portfolio’s client view allows clients to follow the progress of the project and interact with you directly, it fosters a transparent workflow that is beneficial for everyone. Your customers are happy because they get an overview of the project, and at the same time, you do not have to worry about any form of miscommunication either.

In fact, Assembla lets you create special access rules for clients. You can give them “watcher” access that lets them do just that — watch and keep an eye on the project, but modify nothing. And for your team members, you can specify custom access rules too — for example, if a person does not need to work with source code or Git, you can deny them that access and retain other access rules.

Secondly, better communication channels mean that you can actually listen to the client, and invite them to participate in prioritization in an agile way as market realities change, and make changes to your project as you go along. Also, with the increased visibility, you will alleviate billing issues and disputes. Clients are “in the loop” and approve every task, and Assembla Portfolio then integrates with your billing solution so that line items match the tasks names that were approved during the month. Such form of relationship is surely a step towards customer satisfaction.

Lastly, Assembla definitely helps regarding efficiency. You can collaborate to set an agenda for the day, decide what needs to be done, prioritize your workflow, focus on what the client wants, and ensure better delivery of projects in time.

Pricing

Assembla Portfolio’s pricing model is as simple as it gets: it costs $10 per user, per month, and it includes all the features: task issue and project management, integration with billing systems, workflow templates, client access, unlimited workspaces, as well as custom domains and branding so that clients see an interface that is branded with your logo, etc.

There is a seven-day free trial option as well, and you can try a full-featured version of Assembla during that time, without having to provide your payment or billing details.

Conclusion

Naturally, Assembla Portfolio is an ideal tool for working with your clients and managing user projects, and it gets full marks for that purpose. However, Assembla goes out of the way to make developers’ lives easier.

For example, it offers great Subversion and Git hosting and lets you browse code, manage merge and pull requests, as well as deal with bugs in your code directly. Plus, with SSH tools, CDN, and redundant data handling, Assembla is something you can trust for your projects. In fact, when it comes to deploying code, Assembla works at par with various other developer-only services.

If you are managing or are part of a web development team, be it a distributed team of individual coders or an agency, Assembla is a service that you should surely check and give a spin. It can do wonders for your workflow and project management, and even help you build better relationships with clients.

They’re probably the most familiar interfaces on the planet: the numeric keypads on our mobile phones and calculators. Yet very few notice that the keypads’ design has remained unchanged for nearly half a century in the face of evolving global design norms and conventions.

Even fewer users notice another startling design feature: the phone’s keypad is the inverted version of the calculator’s. This article explores the roots of this disparity and proposes a better solution. We will discuss how to simplify and adapt a traditional numeric interface to a minimalist design norm by taking advantage of modern touch-driven modes of human–mobile interaction.

Form entries on smartphones and tablets are not always a pleasant thing. Words are suggested by input assistances. Upper and lower case spelling can also be influenced or set. The HTML attribute autocapitalize allows you to define when words shall automatically be started with a capital letter and when they will be displayed in all caps for form input fields.

Making Characters, Words or Sentences Start With Capital Letters

The attribute autocapitalize knows three different forms of capitalization. The value characters makes every letter be written in caps. Every word starts with an upper case letter when using words and sentences will be started with a capital letter by sentences.

The attribute works for all „“ and „“ elements that require character input. „“ elements that only expect numbers or time information, for example, naturally ignore the <em>autocapitalize</em> attribute.</p> <div> <table> <tr> <td> <pre>1 </pre> </td> <td> <pre><span><</span>input type<span>=</span><span>"text"</span> autocapitalize<span>=</span><span>"word"</span> <span>/></span></pre> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <p>When the attribute is not defined, the beginning of a sentence is written with a capital letter for all „“ elements of the type „text“ and „search“ as well as for all „<textarea>“ elements.</p> <div> <table> <tr> <td> <pre>1 2 3 </pre> </td> <td> <pre><span><</span>input type<span>=</span><span>"text"</span> <span>/></span> <span><</span>input type<span>=</span><span>"search"</span> <span>/></span> <span><</span>textarea<span>></</span>textarea<span>></span></pre> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <p>There is no automatic capitalization for all other „“ elements. You can turn off automatic capitalization by explicitly setting the value <em>off</em>. After that, no automatic correction of input letters will occur.</p> <div> <table> <tr> <td> <pre>1 </pre> </td> <td> <pre><span><</span>input type<span>=</span><span>"text"</span> autocapitalize<span>=</span><span>"off /></span></pre> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <h3><em>autocapitalize</em> Used Correctly</h3> <p>You should consider very well whether to use the <em>autocapitalize</em> attribute. After all, the attribute alters the usual browser behavior for form input. You should only choose the value <em>words</em> when you’re expecting substantives only. This is the case when entering names – for example in fields that require the entry of a personal name or a company name. </p> <p><em>characters</em> most likely won’t be used that often. It should only be set when expecting all capital letters. This is the case for car license plates, for example. The display of other characters, like numbers, remain unaffected by the <em>autocapitalize</em> attribute anyway.</p> <p>Finally, when it comes to entering longer texts, <em>sentences</em> could be used. Capitalization <em>within</em> a sentence needs to be done by the user. </p> <h3>Browser and Device Support</h3> <p>The <em>autocapitalize</em> attribute was introduced for iOS 5 and is also supported in Chrome from version 43. It will only be interpreted on mobile devices. Browser and desktop devices completely ignore the attribute. There is no automatic capitalization on there. </p> <p><em>(dpe)</em></p> <div> <div><span>*</span> You might also be interested in the following articles</div> <ul> <li><a target="_blank"

Mainly concerning information offers from the big news portals, but also here at Noupe, which is small in comparison, it is naturally expected that all of this information is available for free. It is obvious that these offers need to be financed by advertisement. However, due to ad blockers, anyone can just remove ads comfortably. By now, this affects not only the website owner but also the website visitor.</p> </p> <h3>The Bad Reputation of Online Advertisement</h3> <p>Advertising has gained a bad reputation over the last decades. In newspapers and magazines, it is less annoying in most cases. On television and in the mail, it is generally viewed negatively. The reason online ads have a particularly bad reputation is rooted in their beginning in the 90s, which has also damned the concept of popup windows.</p> <p>Quickly, adblockers have established themselves as a browser plugin that blocks popups. For many users, the use of adblockers has become natural. The blockers’ popularity caused many companies to lose enormous amounts of advertising revenues and mainly the hosts of news websites were forced to react. According to the website hosts, approximately 25 percent of all visitors use ad blockers.</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="http://www.noupe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/adblock-plus-640x370.jpg" alt="adblock-plus" width="640" height="370"><br /><small>Widely Popular: Adblock Plus</small></p> <h3>Appeal Against AdBlockers</h3> <p>In 2013, well-known German but internationally acclaimed news portals such as Spiegel, Zeit and Süddeutsche had called on the users to deactivate their adblockers at least while viewing the named websites. The appeal itself, which was held up for several weeks, seems to have worked. According to the hosts, the advertising revenues had grown, at least in the short term.</p> <p>However, the campaign against ad blockers has caused a lot of criticism as well, as online advertising can be intrusive at times and also poses a potential security risk. Infected ad servers, as well as the use of Flash, were named among those risks. Today, Flash as the standard for online ads has been replaced by HTML5.</p> <h3>Blocking AdBlock Users</h3> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="http://www.noupe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/bild-adblocker-640x275.jpg" alt="bild-adblocker" width="640" height="275"><br /><small>No Bild (German for Image, but Also the Name of the Publication) for AdBlock Users</small></p> <p>In 2015, the Germany-based Springer-Verlag has taken the campaign of 2013 a significant step further for their popular news portal Bild.de. Here, users of adblockers are banned from the content entirely. The website recognizes the use of an ad blocker and displays a message telling you to turn off your adblocker for your stay on this site.</p> <p>Supposedly, other providers, such as Spiegel Online, also consider using methods similar to Bild.de to prevent the use of ad blockers on their website.</p> <h3>Block Adblockers Using Adi.js</h3> <p>When running an ad-financed website, you can integrate your own Adblock blocker using the small plugin <a target="_blank" href="http://www.noupe.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2JhbGFqbWFyaXVzL0FkaS5qcw%3D%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=94586">Adi.js</a>. Just place the jQuery-based plugin in your HTML document together with the file “advertisement.js” and access it.</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="http://www.noupe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/adijs-640x275.jpg" alt="adijs" width="640" height="275"><br /><small>Advice from Adi.js</small></p> <p>As soon as an adblocker is recognized, a window saying that an adblocker was found will pop up. You can customize text and appearance of the window via several settings.</p> <p>The file “advertisment.js” is not called when the adblocker is activated. Thus, you can place a JavaScript in there which will only be executed when adblockers are not active.</p> <p>Of course, Adi.js is no adequate replacement for the method used by Bild.de, as Adi.js relies on JavaScript, which can be deactivated by any user with a little bit of knowledge quickly.</p> <h3>The Right Way of Handling Ads and Adblockers</h3> <p>The bad image of ads is why the campaign of Spiegel, Zeit and Süddeutsche as well as the radical solution of Bild.de have been confronted by a lot of criticism. Everyone knows about the significance of ads for the website host. But it’s also understandable that ads are often considered very obtrusive.</p> <p>Advertisements that are layed over the content you are currently reading are not the most user-friendly way of financing a news website. The recent ad videos that take up the entire browser window once the site is loaded and need to be minimised manually even stick out further here.</p> <p>Instead of going for radical solutions, the goal should be to use ads in a way that they will still be seen (as that is the point of ads) but won’t affect the reader.</p> <p>Using videos and animations is acceptable. However, as soon as the visitors need to remove ads before being able to access the website’s content, it will become difficult to convince the user of forgoing adblockers. Methods that rely on force, like the Bild.de method, are never the right solution.</p> <p>Using Adi.js should be seen as a friendly request. This is also acceptable, as the adblocker, once activated, doesn’t differentiate between annoying, self-extending videos and the “standard” website banners as seen on our good old Noupe Magazine. Ad blockers will also damage those that stay away from annoying ads.</p> <p><em><small>(dpe)</small></em></p> <div> <div><span>*</span> You might also be interested in the following articles</div>
